[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BYW a 2015 Volvo V60 is a foreign car. Tarriffs on Foreign car parts also start on April 2nd. Parts ordered pre-April 2nd or in inventory wont be effected. But if not price will rise.

Also a Volvo is not a Chevy Malibu meaning there are not cheap easy to install parts available quickly. They have to pay to store car in a lot and if fixing have to pay you rental car fee till fixed. Insurance may total for that alone .

Rental coverage does not stop date they total car but it does start clocking ticking when it ends. They will pressure you to hand over title and get check in a few days.

My buddy used to buy totaled cars and rebuild and resale for aliving. He would do Ford Taurus, Chevy Cruz, Chevy Malibu cars, all american simple to fix cars.

Why once he buys he is out money, costs money to store them, costs time to fix and he needs parts asap. He also hired low skilled mechanics that got paid less. So wanted easy to fix cars. And also tried to avoid body work. If possible parts that can be replaced. A Volvo is none of those things.

Unless just a bumper, and tailights maybe trunk lid with near zero body work needed will be totaled.     [/quote]

So do you suggest that it's better to buy tomorrow until April 2nd? I had a few fat bills pile up for my dog and just a lot of stuff going on right now for me. [/quote]

Not going to shoot up overnight But most places a $500 refundable deposit holds car. Use TrueCar or CarGurus and check dealers for internet pricing before walking into a dealer. Any car on the lot is not effected. But those will start to disappear over time or dealers will start marking them up as less of them.   [/quote]
